I JUST now saw this - GRAPES ARE TOXIC to small dogs - DEPENDING on the amount she ate .....She may be ok - but it doesn't sound like it !!!!

call your vet ASAP and see what they say - but if I were you I'd be making that appointment asap.....I don't want to scare you - but IF you have an emergency number - call it. It's Saturday and lots of vets are NOT open today - you need to call & I hope she'll be ok !!

More info here - but your VET will be able to tell you what to do

What are the symptoms of grape poisoning in dogs?

Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, refusal to eat or loss of appetite, and general lethargy. These symptoms can last for some time, up to a few weeks. They are happening because grapes damage the dog's kidneys, and can cause kidney failure and then death.

If a dog has these problems, it will need to go on dialysis. If you have not caught the problem early on, the toxins will already be in the dog and it will be more serious, but you should take the dog to the vet as soon as possible
